As far as I know I'm not twinned, mutated or otherwise associated with Bob. I just felt that perhaps I had overstepped the bounds of decorum for this site although it wasn't below me to place a pun in my apology. I'd like to be found fit to survive here.

That was pretty descent. I'd also like to point out that we're now crossed over to the next page. I expect a lot of fertile discussion from here on in.

Perhaps my lack of breeding lead to my poor post.

I don't know whether to question punwit or try to outdo him. It's the classic dilemma: polymerase.

What's your question? I know I'm not strictly adhering to the evolution theme, sorta sideways to it, but fire away.

Bob, I'm new so forgive me if I messed things up. I'm not sure what poll him or race means. Once again sorry.

Down to two participants only? Looks like the herd has thinned out quite a bit.

No,no, the thread is not endangered, not to worry. I was just eating dinner. Unfortunately, I burned the sauce, and extinct.

punwit...I was going "GAH" because my pun failed, not because you didn't get it.

Polymerase -- poll him or race... Weak, I know.

It's anaphase I'm going through...
Can't we just mend-el our division?

I not going to actually compete, but polymerase is probably in the lead for the biggest stretch of a pun...

I'm not announcing the winners yet, but we're running out of time if someone truly wants to beat some of the earlier entries. I'm still laughing over some of them...

The boss says to his new secretary, “Take these papers and phylum.” As she leaves he Scopes her out. Meanwhile, the mail boy from Port-Au-Prince can’t say anything – he’s a mutation. But he’s polite and helps the secretary put her codon before she goes outside in the cold.

Just fyi, the judges are locked in deliberations and cannot be disturbed.

Look for final tallies sometime later this evening.

The genesis of this decision takes some time to evolve, about 6 days, and one to rest, but it seems to go on for eons.
